Most farm trucks I know are constantly being overloaded from the time they are bought to the time they towed out to the pasture to be used as spare parts.
I bought a thoroughly used farm truck in Montana when I got out of the Army in 1971. It was a '60 Chevy 1/2 ton. The body was assembled from parts of 4 different colored trucks, there was no longer any weather stripping in the driver's door so snow and rain came right in. It had a straight 6 with 3 on the tree. From the condition, I figure it spent half it's previous life overloaded.
I paid $50 for it and drove it for a year and a half, then signed the title over to my roommate when I moved to Colorado.
I figure that I got my money's worth out of it.
